You can use Enquiry and confirmation Inspection Observation Recalculations and reperformance. If the control is someone authorising - then a test is inspecting the document for a signature or a stamp showing authorisation If the control is inspecting goods as they arrive, then observe staff doing that. If the control is a bank reconciliation then inspect some, reperform one. Once you have a control testing that it is operating correctly follows naturally.
